Hey, Sans, probably a weird question but what was Papyrus’ fall into the Hunger and his delusions like? Was it sudden or did it just happen over time?

“it was the worst thing i’ve ever had to witness. after finding mk and tearing the whimsun off of him… gaining the first lv he’s ever had… he wasn’t the same. it was all i could do to keep him from… from tearing his own soul out. had to chain him down.”

Sans sighs heavily, rubbing a palm into one of his sockets.

“when he woke up the next morning, it was like nothing had happened. none of it. he was the same as before, just… stuck in his head. i knew it was to keep the pain away. to keep from remembering what he’d had to do… to keep from feeling the taint on his soul. and i let him do it. i don’t want him to remember any more than he wants to himself.”
